Chapter 9: Q. 234 (page 944)

For each of the following exercises, determine if the parabola opens up or down.

(a)f(x)=4x2+x-4(b)f(x)=-9x2-24x-16

Short Answer

Expert verified

The parabola of the function f(x)=4x2+x-4 opens up.

The parabola of the function f(x)=-9x2-24x-16opens down.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information

Given function isf(x)=4x2+x-4

We have to determine that the parabola is opens up or down.

02

Part (a) Step 2. Comparing the given function with the standard form

Compare f(x)=4x2+x-4with the standard form f(x)=ax2+bx+c

We have a=4

Since the value of the leading coefficient ais positive, so the parabola opens up.

03

Part (b) Step 1. Given information

Given function isf(x)=-9x2-24x-16

We have to determine that the parabola is opens up or down.

04

Part (b) Step 2. Comparing the given function with the standard form 

Compare f(x)=-9x2-24x-16with the standard form role="math" f(x)=ax2+bx+c

We have a=-9

Since the value of the leading coefficient ais negative, so the parabola opens down.
